Splash Day

Today is splash day at C's school.  I'm not really sure what that means; however, I know that he had to wear a swim suit and bring a towel with him today.  Last night he was complaining about going to bed (which he does every night, he is never tired!) and J told him he needed his sleep for splash day tomorrow.  That obviously worked because we didn't hear a peep out of him the entire night.  He has ended up in our bed the 2 previous nights, so I was pretty excited for a full nights sleep.

So when C woke up this morning, we were still talking about splash day because he didn't want to go to school (he never does!).  I told him he had to go because it was splash day and he gets to wear his swimsuit.  He was excited about the swim suit, but said "I go lake."  We had to tell him that he couldn't go to the lake and he had to go to school.  Then I made the mistake of asking C if I could go to splash day with him.  Of course he said "no" (he always does!) and that was that, so I thought.  J called me after dropping C off at school to let me know that C was upset because I wasn't coming to splash day.  Go figure!  "Momma go to splash day?"  "Momma come to splash day with me?"  J had to inform he that I had to work (that is where he always says I am) and that he told me I couldn't come to splash day with him.  Apparently that didn't work, but I'm sure he had a great time anyway.  I'll ask him all about it tonight!

A Wee Bit of ME

This sounds fun.  Learn a little about me and I don't have to think what to blog about.  I am working on some posts to recount our recent vacation to Colorado, but I haven't gotten them finished.

And who like my new blog design?  Thanks Bailey!

  
{one} what website do you spend the most time on?
Probably facebook.  Stupid, right?!?



{two} what's the furthest you've ever travelled?
Wow, I don't really know.  I've only been out of the US once and that was to Cozumel, but that's not very far from here.  Probably when we took a family trip to Wyoming.


{three} what's your guilty pleasure tv show?
Big Brother and all of the housewives shows.  NY is probably my favorite.


{four} if you had to give up one favorite food, what would be the hardest?
can it be a drink? Dr. Pepper.  I want to give it up.  I do!  I've tried.  But I just love the taste of that sweet nectar!


{five} if you could become any fictional character, who would you be?
I have no idea.  I don't read.  I don't have time to read.  I would be a fictional character in my Becker Financial Accounting book if there were any.  That is the only thing I read these days!


{six} what's your favorite season of the year?
I don't know.  I'm not sure I have one.  What a cop out, right!  I am ready for summer when it is winter and I am ready for winter when it is summer.  So maybe Spring and Fall?!?


{seven} what's your biggest phobia?
Dying.....does that count as a phobia.  I'm sure that there is a more proper name for it but I don't know what it is.


{eight} would you rather swim in a pool or the ocean?
Pool, for sure!  On before mentioned trip to Cozumel, I stepped into the ocean when we first arrived to take a picture and that was the only time I "got in."  The rest of the time was spent by the pool!  But I hate bathing suits!  And I spend most of my weekends during the summer at the lake.  I don't like the lake either!


{nine} what did you eat for breakfast today?
Fiber One Oats and Chocolate bar.  That's pretty much what I eat everyday unless I go to SONIC!


{ten} if you could only listen to one song for the next month, which song would it be?
Airplanes Part II.  I LOVE it!  enough said

New Car

Oh.....and I got a new car!  I am so excited.  It is a Ford Expedition.  It is big, but we got a really good deal and we couldn't pass it up.  We are planning to have more children and we just thought it was time to get a bigger car.  It is so different to drive than my little Volvo was, but I think I am starting to get used to it.

The Pacifier Incident

Apparently Colton decided today that he didn't like pacifiers any more or that he really likes them.  I'm not sure.  Colton took one of his "friends" pacifiers out of his mouth today and got bit twice.  I am not sure if Colton wanted his "friends" pacifier or if he didn't want his "friend" to have his own pacifier.  So Colton has a bite mark on his hand and his back.  Jerrod said he tried to talk to Colton about the incident but Colton denied all involvement.  Maybe Colton will have a better day tomorrow.

Let down again.....

So I have slacked off on the blogging again and it is not even 1 month into the new year.  We had a pretty good weekend.  Colton went to the lake with JanMa and Pops on Saturday and stayed until Sunday after lunch.  Apparently he got to go to Mary's and Boom Town.  Not real fair in my opinion.  Jerrod and I stayed home and did some work around the house.  Colton's toys have been taking over the living room, so we did some rearranging in the office and moved Colton's toys in there.  This is a problem because there in no TV in the office yet so Jerrod and I really don't want to hang out in there.  Last night Colton went into the office and brought his fire truck and motorcycle back into the living room.  He didn't play with them but I think he just needed the company.  Maybe we will be able to teach him to play in there and we will get a TV put in there so Jerrod and I will stay!  The house looks really good.  Just picking up that needed to be done and I just kept putting it off.  I hope we can keep it that way.  Never have been able to in the past but maybe it will stick this time.  So we are back to another week of work.  Hopefully it will be a pretty uneventful week since it will probably be my last slow week before tax season hours start.  I am not really looking forward to that but I know it will come and go.  Until tomorrow (hopefully)........
